'Be Humble for You Are Made Of Earth. Be Noble For You Are Made Of Stars'

The Alchemist

In the desert where almost nothing growsyou’ll find the most beautiful rose takes its name from Jerichoa miracle of lifeI know a place I can’t denywhere even a Jericho rose would dieThe desert of your heart’s where I am trying to survive

Can’t control thiscan’t let go thisfeeling is all I haveI know that...

I could build a tower out of steel and stonebut trying to build a bridge to youis something I can’t seem to doIf I could turn this dust to goldyou’d see it clearlyTrying to earn your loveis just like trying to learn the art of alchemy

The measure of a woman’s heartis just how deep and just how fara secret can be kepttill it is only distant memoryMy emotions fall on stony groundI wear them just like hand-me-downsbecause I know the secret is the love that you have for me

I can’t believecan hardly breathewithout you by my sideI know that...I could build a tower out of steel and stone….

How could life be the sameif I find I loved in vainThe dream I have every nightis to wake with you by my side
